On December 15, 2016, pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, Mr. Rosellini sold, assigned and transferred any and all of his right, title and interest in and to the License owned by him related to the Siemens Patents to the Company pursuant to the Patent License Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1. A copy of the License Agreement is attached to the Purchase Agreement as Exhibit A.

 

As consideration for the transfer of the Siemens Patents and the License related thereto, the Company shall pay to Mr. Rosellini the sum of $3,119,000 in the form of $140,000 in cash and 2,979,000 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock. 

 

Company Obligations Pursuant to the License Agreement  

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the License Agreement, the Company assumes the following obligations:

 

Royalties

Fair Market Value of Patents; Board Approval

 

The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to provide a fair market value of the Siemens Patents acquired pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and related License Agreement in accordance with ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements. Management and the Company’s Board of Directors have relied on the fair market value provided by the third-party valuation firm in approving the Purchase Agreement transactions. The Board of Directors approved the Purchase Agreement and related transactions on December 15, 2016 in accordance with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. Management believes the primary value of the transaction is reflected in the patent portfolio acquired.

 

The Augmented Market Approach (“AMA”) was used to determine the fair market value of the Magnus portfolio. AMA was developed from actual data of patent market transactions. Essentially, the valuation computed from AMA would indicate the fair market value of patents if they were sold in today's Patent Market. The estimated fair value for the Siemens Patents was $3,119,000.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and be enforceable. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith an enforceable substitute provision for any invalid or unenforceable provision that most nearly achieves the intent of such provision.

 

9.8.           Entire Agreement . The Parties acknowledge, accept, warrant and represent that (i) this is an enforceable agreement; (ii) this Agreement embodies the entire and only understanding of each of them with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement, and merges, supersedes and cancels all previous representations, warranties, assurances, communications, conditions, definitions, understandings or any other statement, express, implied, or arising by operation of law, whether oral or written, whether by omission or commission between and among them with respect to the subject matter of the Agreement; (iii) no oral explanation or oral information by either Party hereto shall alter the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement; (iv) the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be altered, modified, changed or amended only by a written agreement executed by duly authorized representatives of Licensor and Licensee; (v) the language of this Agreement has been approved by counsel for each of them, and shall be construed as a whole according to its fair meaning; and (vi) none of the them (nor their respective counsel) shall be deemed to be the draftsman of this Agreement in any action which may hereafter arise with respect to the Agreement.

9.9.           Modification; Waiver . No modification or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights, will be effective unless assented to in writing by the Party to be charged, and the waiver of any breach or default will not constitute a waiver of any other right hereunder or any subsequent breach or default.

 

9.10.        Construction; Language . Any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including” and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The headings in this Agreement will not be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement is in the English language only, which language shall be controlling in all respects, and all notices under this Agreement shall be in the English language.

 

9.11.        Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts or duplicate originals, both of which shall be regarded as one and the same instrument, and which shall be the official and governing version in the interpretation of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signatures or other electronic means and such signatures shall be deemed to bind each Party as if they were original signatures.
